I miss seeing people smile,                                  

Taking the time to help each other,

Sitting down at the kitchen table,

And complimenting one another.

 

I miss seeing children read,                                    

Playing outside in the sunlight,

Laughing so hard they cry,

And walking together at night.

 

I miss children saying hello, 

Gathering flowers for the old,

Asking questions about God,

And sharing mittens when it’s cold.

 

What happened to this world                               

 When we all fell asleep?

Technology took control,

And all we do is weep.
